INSTALLATION

attached to the motor correspond to the available
electrical current.

5. The drain pipe should be 2″ or larger all the way

with as much downward pitch as possible and
without any sharp bends for good drainage. A
3/8″ cold water supply line should be connected
to the back of the machine. A hose bibb, to which
a hose may be attached, is recommended for
cleaning the peeler after it has been used.

1. Place your Blakeslee Peeler where the most
efficient operation is assured. The Peeler should
be placed so that the peeled potatoes can be
discharged into a sink.

NOTE: If your Peeler was supplied in the bench

model, then the Peeler should be installed
with room for the potatoes to discharge
Into a metal container so that the peeled
potatoes can be submerged in water, as
peeled potatoes must be kept under water
to prevent their turning black.

2. The Potato Peeler is equipped with a removable
strainer basket that catches the peelings. This
strainer basket is removed through the access
door in the base of the Peeler. When installing
your Peeler, be sure there is ample room to
permit easy removal of the strainer basket.

NOTE: XC (floor) model peelers are shipped

with the unload door and strainer
directly over one another.

3. It is possible to have the strainer basket in a
different position. Simply remove the attaching
bolts, move the bottom cylinder in increments of
90° until the desired position is obtained and
reinstall attaching bolts.

NOTE: When you have selected the proper

location for the Peeler, it is then
necessary to connect the motor, the
drain, and make a cold water connection
to the spray inlet on the top of the
Peeler.

4. Before making the electrical connection, be
sure that the electrical specifications on the tag

OPERATION

1. Before operating the Peeler, be sure that the
peeling disc and cover and the peel trap strainer
basket are all in place, then adjust the cock or
valve for the correct flow of water into the peeling
chamber.

2. Turn on the motor and then put in the potatoes.

NOTE: Be careful not to overload the machine.

When the peeling chamber is overloaded,
the potatoes will not tumble and roll
properly and there will be more waste
than is necessary. Overloading the
peeling chamber can also cause uneven
peeling, or what is commonly called
‘‘flats’’.

3. When peeling long Idaho potatoes, it is often
advisable to cut them in half for efficient peeling.

4. Always be sure to turn on the motor so that the
peeling disc is in motion before the potatoes are
dumped into the peeling chamber. Filling the
potato chamber first and then starting the motor

OPERATION (Cont.)

tends to overload the motor and the potatoes do
not tumble and roll for easy peeling.

NOTE: It is very desirable to have a container as

a measure that will hold just the right
quantity of potatoes. 15, 20, or 60 lbs., as
the model indicates as such a measure is
insurance against overloading.

The time required for peeling a charge of potatoes
depends greatly on the condition and age of the
potatoes. New potatoes are peeled very quickly,
whereas old potatoes require a longer time for
peeling. Potatoes that are being peeled for potato
chips are generally packed very lightly. Potatoes that
are going to be mashed should be peeled more
thoroughly. This progress of the peeling can be
watched and sometimes it is advisable to lift out a few
potatoes to examine the extent of the peeling that has
been accomplished.

Potato and Vegetable Peelers

For best peeling results, do not overload peeler.

Overloading prevents proper tumbling of potatoes,

causing uneven peeling.

Cut long Idaho’s in half
for more efficient
peeling.

To discharge the peeled potatoes, merely open the door
of the peeling chamber and the peeled potatoes will
automatically be thrown out. After the peeled potatoes
have been discharged, turn off the water and the motor.
Do not peel the eyes out of the potatoes as it is much
more economical to trim out the eyes by hand after
peeling. When peeling large quantities of potatoes,
empty the peel trap strainer basket frequently.

CLEANING

When all of the potatoes and vegetables have been
peeled, and before the inside of the peeler has had
time to dry, remove the cover and the peeling disc
and hose out the inside of the peeler. Always
remember to empty and clean the peel trap strainer
basket.

All Stainless Steel Peel
Trap: prevents clogging of

drain system and is easliy
cleaned.

CAUTION: Be sure motor is connected so peeling

disc operates in clockwise direction.
This is very important as if motor is
running backwards,

fly off when potatoes are being peeled.
